Crisis in knowledge, deeply affects the definition or the concept of terms related to that knowledge. Human rights, a popular term is used to express the rights of the human being who lives not in one part of the world but all around the globe. However, every day we are faced with lots of news of human rights abuses from all over the world. This invasion shows that human rights knowledge, which ripened in an extended period, is in a big crisis. In this paper, it is argued that many examples of the crises in human rights knowledge can be seen in Palestine's case. In this context, the first part will discuss the historical development of human rights knowledge, and the second part will focus on the cases related to basic human rights violations from Palestine. This study concludes that the human rights concept should be redefined with the implications from given cases. Also, human rights violations should be terminated, starting from Palestine and spreading to all around the world to stop the crises in human rights knowledge.
